        "summary": "Private fuel stations in Indonesia, such as those operated by BP-AKR and Shell, adjust fuel prices in line with government policies and market dynamics, including global oil prices and domestic demand, rather than arbitrarily. The government, led by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia, is currently calculating adjustments for non-subsidised fuels in consultation with Pertamina and private businesses, hoping for a decline in Indonesia Crude Price (ICP) to ease costs. Meanwhile, stock shortages persist at private stations, with Shell facing empty pumps in some areas until mid-April 2026 and Vivo Energy struggling with availability of certain grades like Revvo 90, highlighting broader challenges in fuel distribution.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 Concerns over fuel price adjustments have resurfaced,\nparticularly regarding when private fuel stations will implement changes\namid fluctuating market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In an official statement to Kompas.com, BP-AKR stated that fuel price\nadjustments are not made arbitrarily. The company follows the mechanisms\nin place in Indonesia while respecting government policies on energy\nsector governance.<\/p>\n<p>This means that changes in fuel prices at private fuel stations are\nheavily dependent on global and domestic conditions. Key factors\ndetermining when adjustments occur include rises or falls in world oil\nprices, market demand dynamics, and government policies.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the government has not yet set a specific time for\nadjusting non-subsidised fuel prices. The Minister of Energy and Mineral\nResources, Bahlil Lahadalia, revealed that calculations are still\nongoing.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government is still conducting calculations with\nvarious parties, including Pertamina and private sector players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still doing the exercise now. And hopefully, pray that the\nICP price can drop. That would be much better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the field, private fuel stations are still facing stock\navailability challenges. For instance, Shell has experienced fuel\nshortages in several regions until mid-April 2026. Currently, some\nstations are only operating minimarkets and workshops.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vivo Energy has also faced ups and downs in stock. The\nRevvo 90 (RON 90) product has been nearly unavailable in recent months,\nwith supplies more commonly available only for Revvo 92 and Primus Plus\nDiesel in Jakarta and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>This situation indicates that, beyond price factors, distribution and\nstock availability aspects also influence private fuel market\ndynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, fuel price adjustments at private fuel stations are not\njust about following trends but the result of complex calculations\ninvolving many variables.<\/p>",
